The Butterfly Club Presents BIRDMANNIA

The Birdmann in BIRDMANNIA-- Infamous Comic Variety Artist, The Birdmann, delivers a left of field and intriguingly fun evening to the New Year.

"Obtuse, lilting and intensely epigrammatic...ingenious, highly original comedy

????" The Age, 2009

BIRDMANNIA debuting for the first time at Melbourne's legendary cabaret venue The Butterfly Club arriving in Melbourne fresh from the Woodford Folk Festival.

"distinctively quirky festival show...The lines are nice, the set pieces nicer...perfectly twisted" Chortle UK, 2010

BIRDMANNIA is a one man variety act with a fusion of visual comedy, vaudeville, witty monologues and eccentric mime. The Birdmann is defrosted from an ordinary fridge to find evolution from world events with virtuosic talents with a visual edge.

"An edgy and fastidious host whose personas swing between self depreciating

magician, cavalier stuntman and endearing innocent." Sydney Morning Herald, 2007

For the last decade, Melbourne-based The Birdmann has travelled the world to perform, from Edinburgh Fringe to the New York Underground Circuit, developing a distinct genre of his very own. At the New York Burlesque Festival, The Birdmann was the only artist to be given a standing ovation.

"old-school variety show humour, contemporary abstract performance art and an epic finale" watchoutfor.com.au, 2010

BIRDMANNIA will undoubtedly encourage fanatical interest and illogical commotion.
